Hello folks,

I have a 4k monitor but I want to play on 2k or even 1080p, because the UI is just too small otherwise.
When I change the resolution in-game (workshop) it doesn't seem to work.
The only thing that works is changing my desktop resolution, but honestly I was hoping for another solution if there is one.

You could set your system to a higher scale, keeping the 4k desktop. System, Display, Scale and Layout subheading, Scale, try 150%.

Or if you mean the in sim UI (HUD etc) you can edit the scale of fonts etc.
See this post in the FAQ subforum / section;
https://simhq.net/forum/ubbthreads....font-sizes-in-tac-and-labels#Post4328916

WOFF defaults to desktop res, some systems report the resolutions differently compared to others, so it's a fallback method.

Thanks, I didn't know the config files where hidden there. I was already looking for some config before.
At least I can mess with the UI dial sizes now.

No worries, plus you can edit the text size.

I changed all the fontsizes to VeryLarge that works fine.
Changing the BGSize of the gauges seems to be problematic. https://imgur.com/a/FcrHnhN

P.S. what is the difference between the "\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields" viewUI.xml and the "F:\Games\WoFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields" viewui.xml ?
